Blazblue mentioned in GameInformer; Primeval Hunt in Hardcore Gamer Magazine and Gamepro joins the fray
I have been critical of the lack of arcade coverage in GameInformer in the past so when they do give some coverage to arcades it’s only fair that I point that out as well. In the latest issue of the game magazine they have a small preview of the upcoming arcade fighter Blazblue on »
Surprise, people still play arcade games (my arcade update)
Well day one for my arcade (Tuesday) was slow. Slow enough that no one came! That was expected really as I don’t have much in the front to indicate what it is other than a small paper sign in the window and an LED OPEN sign above. I do have some vinyl lettering that »

Rambo unveiled at event in Japan
I had seen this a few days ago but had passed over it and even though we have the first footage of Rambo in action, it’s worth a mention anyways. At the official unveiling of Rambo in Japan, Sega brought on actor Hiroshi Fujioka, who in addition to appearing in many Japanese films since »
Location Review: Bowlplex, Basingstoke
As you might imagine, Rambo wasn’t the only thing I played on my trip to Basingstoke’s Bowlplex last week. Having spent something like £20 on the return train ticket, there was no way I was ever going to do that. In fact, it wasn’t just the train journey – as I found out, the »
Behind the scenes at Sega
While I was at the Sega Rally 3 launch last week, I got to see a little bit of what goes on at Sega Amusements Europe. It is a fun place! The developers from the former Sega Racing Studio turned up for a look at the finished product, but some members were also addicted »
